The Xbox is Microsoft's gaming console, and is their only foray into the gaming industry. The Xbox brand, however, started only much later in comparison to its competitors from other brands. It would still go on to become a very formidable force in the gaming industry. The first generation Xbox competed directly with Sony's Playstation 2 and the Nintendo Gamecube; it also has a superior set of specification in comparison to the competition which allowed it to have better graphical performance.

The core of the Xbox, the video games themselves

When the first Xbox console – simply named the Xbox – was launched in 2001, there were also launch games which accompanied the Xbox's release. These games included Halo: Combat Evolve, Project Gotham Racing, and Dead or Alive 3. These games would go on to become very famous games and sell over a million copies in the United States alone.

Early Xbox games would not fully maximize the use of its hardware to showcase its graphical capabilities until much later. During that time, most Xbox cross-platform games had only a few additional features and improvements to differentiate them from other platform's. The later years would lead up to more Xbox games being developed, as well as an abundance of exclusive games that would be synonymous with the brand of Xbox.

As with all gaming platforms, the Xbox also has a lot of exclusive games. Exclusive games are those that are only playable on a certain platform – and in this case, only on the Xbox itself. The Xbox's exclusive games are always the more well known ones compared to other platforms, and for good reason too: They are really fantastic games. Here are some of the Xbox's exclusive games:
